    note that some alternator fault may or may not lit the warning lamp ... with such trouble, i.e. internal short on rotor windings is one example and charging is insufficient, you will still experience low bat after a few days even with a new battery ... even faster (to low bat) if you drive at night
    May kinalaman kaya yung pag engine wash sa pag patay ng battery? pina engine wash ko sa casa eh, pag balik, may tama na yung battery

    aha!!!

    with today's technology, barring abuse, batteries never need to be charged externally during their entire useful life. when the battery shows signs of discharge, is usually the time the battery is about to die and has to be replaced..

    Better have your battery check. kung bago pa lang, eh may warranty naman yan kung talagang defective edi palitan.
